About the Event

Create your own magical glow to light up the autumn evenings.

Suitable for ages 7+ 

Join our ever popular lantern making workshops, with expert artists, to create your own sustainable lanterns using willow and tissue paper.

The lanterns use energy-efficient LED lights (not included) and will be held up on biodegradable bamboo sticks. No lanterns will be released into the air. Finished lanterns can be carried triumphantly in the Derby Lantern Parade on Saturday 29 November.

Places are limited, so early booking is essential.

Children under 7 must be accompanied by an adult guardian.
